That's just one of the baby dangling idiots. Not Michael Jackson.
Really though, are we Australians held in such high esteem over there in the US?
and they really do say "G'day"! and it really is that funny 😀

Hope that burst your sides open.
Honestly, it is just part of the language here, I say it all the time. On the phone, on MSN, when I meet people in person...I never thought of it as funny to other cultures.
Yea, I know I hear it everywhere down there.
It will make almost every American atleast chuckle when they here it.
I think that it has been pushed in movies so much and in such a corny way that it just seems like one of those things that can't be true (like Crocodile Dundee's magical aborginal abilities).
When we do hear it, the first thing we usually think is "Oh my god, they actually do say that".
and you probably don't know who Crocodile Dundee is. Let me tell you, a guy by the name of Paul Hogan set your country's image back by about 200 years by making some cheesy American movies that basically exploited the Australian culture and speech. If you run in to him in a pub down there, you might want to give him a swift kick in the crotch.
